Employment reference translation
For an application abroad or submission to a particular recipient, we translate employment, interim and internship references into the required language. Whether you need a certified version depends on the recipient’s instructions.

Communicate employment duties and assessments accurately
An employment reference records duties, employment dates and sometimes an assessment of performance. The translation should preserve that content. It does not replace the original wording with new ratings or add qualifications that the source does not contain.
A German employment reference and a newly written English reference letter are different documents. Tell us whether you need a translation of the existing original. A new recommendation letter should be prepared separately by the appropriate issuer.
Choose certification for the intended use
Provide the requirement if the recipient asks for a certified translation. For a job application, follow the employer’s instructions. We can help distinguish specialist translation from certified translation before you choose the service.
Employment documents you can prepare
Internship and training records
Explain the intended use and supply the complete connected documents.
Recommendation letters and CVs
An existing recommendation and your CV can be prepared as separate documents within the enquiry.
For a set of records, consistent personal names and clear file names help identify the related documents.
Prepare your employment reference
- A complete, readable file including all pages and annotations.
- The original and target languages and the recipient or destination job market.
- The required personal-name spelling and established company or job titles.
- Your deadline and whether a certified paper version or another delivery format is required.

Questions about employment reference translation
Does a job application require a certified translation?
Ask the employer or recipient what it requires. A certified version may be needed for an official procedure, but the name of the document alone does not determine the form.
Do you decode the ratings in a German employment reference?
This service translates the document into another language. Employment-law assessment, analysis of ratings and improvement of the German source are separate from translation.
Will the document automatically become a reference letter?
No. A translation reflects the existing document. An independently written recommendation is a different document and should be prepared by the responsible issuer.
How do I select this document when ordering?
For certified translation, choose “Other document” and identify the employment reference, recipient and requirements in the notes. Contact us if you need help selecting the service.
Can I request a CV and reference translation together?
You can prepare the documents for a shared enquiry. Identify each file and state the required language and form for each document.
Provide your reference and intended use
Prepare the file and the recipient’s requirements so we can help you choose specialist or certified translation.
